I installed the x2go client on a Mac, connecting to a Linux machine running x2goserver 4.0.1.19. The keyboard is totally garbled.
I researched the situation. This was in the bug database as bug 112, and to fix it, these lines were added to /usr/bin/x2gostartagent in 4.0.1.8:
# Mac OS keyboard issue workaround: for old/broken clients that used to call type=query and usekbd=0... if [ "$X2GO_KBD_TYPE" = "query" ]; then X2GO_SET_KBD=1 fi
These lines were then removed in the fix for bug #348, with the log message:
- Revert keyboard workaround for Mac OS X, as it causes other issues.
In my case, if those lines are there it works, and if they aren't it doesn't. Now I expect that someday one of my users will hit #348, so I want to help fix this one properly. Can anyone provide some background info to help me get started?
thanks,
